4. For He spoke somewhere about the seventh day like this: “And God rested on the seventh day from all His works.”
5. And again in the present passage He said, “They shall not enter My rest.”
6. Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and they to whom it was first preached did not enter due to unbelief,
7. again He establishes a certain day, “Today,” saying through David, after so long a time, as it has been said: “Today, if you will hear His voice,do not harden your hearts.”
8. For if Joshua had given them rest, He would not have later spoken of another day.
9. Therefore a rest remains for the people of God.
10. For whoever enters His rest will also cease from his own works, as God did from His.
11. Let us labor therefore to enter that rest, lest anyone fall by the same pattern of unbelief.
12. For the word of God is alive, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intents of the heart.
13. There is no creature that is not revealed in His sight, for all things are bare and exposed to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.
14. Since then we have a great High Priest who has passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to our confession.
